Further thoughts on the cultural labor of poetry and art. Not merely "is it good?," but "what has it accomplished?"...reviews of recent poetry collections; selected poems and art dealing with war/peace/social change; reviews of poetry readings; links to political commentary (particularly on conflicts in the Middle East); youtubed performances of music, demos, and other audio-video nuggets dealing with peaceful change, dissent and resistance.
Cleveland Peace Action is proud to co-sponsor this event, a opportunity to learn about very modern and insidious drone warfare. We will be presenting workshop, Slim Down the Pentagon and Fund Our Communities.
DRONE TEACH-IN presented by IMAGINE PEACE Saturday, April 5, 2014 10:00 AM-5:00 PM West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church, 20401 Hilliard Blvd., Rocky River, OH 44116
Medea Benjamin, keynote speaker - Co-founder of Nationally renowned grassroots social justice movement CODEPINK.
"It's a way of waging war without putting U.S. lives at risk. It's a way of waging war without letting the American people know we're even at war. It's a way of waging war that lets the CIA and other secret organizations have control-don't even have to go to Congress. It's a tremendous abuse of executive power. And it's killing a lot of innocent civilians. And the American people need to know about it." - Medea Benjamin
Meet & Greet with Medea Benjamin immediately following Teach-In. Appetizers & beverages provided. Suggested donation $20.
